We provide new evidence of vertical foreclosure in the U.S. cable television market, primarily using a 2004 database of 680 cable systems. Focusing on four program network groups (basic outdoor entertainment, basic cartoon, basic movie, and premium movie), we find that more frequent carriage of...

Modulation format identification (MFI) and optical performance monitoring (OPM) are essential for elastic optical networks. A method for joint modulation format identification and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) monitoring based on ternary neural networks was proposed. Further, a ternary...

In this work, we designed and synthesized two novel 2-nitroimidazole-naphthalimide-derived antitumor agents D-2 and D-5 . The oxidative damage induced by the interaction between D-2 ( D-5 ) and DNA was investigated by CV and DPV methods. The efficient electrochemical biosensors were achieved...

Vanadium sulfides are appeared and investigated for the application of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their adjustable structure and high theoretical capacity. Nevertheless, their inferior sodiation/desodiation kinetics during cycling and convoluted Na + storage mechanism severely restricts...
